Thanks, Godfrey!  Yeah, I need to learn to use the scanner better, and
probably post-process in something Photoshop-like.  It looks better on
paper; I tend to lose shadow detail in the scans.  My ultra-cheap
scanner only gives me 256 levels of grey, too, which I guess limits what
I can do with it a bit...?  Anyway, it's something new to learn... :)

Mike, there is usually an option to erase each title somewhere in  
menu of the recorder. At least it is done that way in my Panasonic  
DVD recorder. But you should have an option to format entire DVD-RAM  
disc also, just you have to check all menu options once again :-)

 Never knew they made motor bikes/cycles. Any idea as to year of the bike?

It is almost identical to the allegedly 1930 model on the Wikipedia site.

 The first image gave it away to me as I saw the braided hose on the RH side.

No braided _hose_ on any motorcycle in 1930 that I can think of.  Many _cars_ 
still had cable/rod brakes.  That is part of the wiring harness.

 I have a Panasonic DVD RAM drive in my computer which will also burn

Thanks for the replies.  I will try a blank RAM disk in the computer tonight to 
see if it will recognise an empty one.  When it doesn't I'll go and buy some 
blank disks. 8-) Anyone want DVDs of the British Superbike and MotoGP to date?

 So far as I know normal DVD+R or -R drives often (always?) don't
 recognise DVD-RAM discs. As to re-recording, my understanding is that
 you just treat them like a normal hard disc, deleting files as normal,
 or adding more. Some more info here:

That's my plan for this evening. 8-(  I've had quite a good look but there

On another topic entirely, will be in Polska from 13th to 24th august.  I have 
a small but beautifully appointed apartment in Krakow, with spare beds, if 
anyone wishes to visit.  The weekend in the middle is already taken, so if you

I have a nearly full Maxtor external HD i store all my pic s and

I just ordered from my old work, a WD 160 Gig USB 2 external for Mac

WTB - focusing screen for MX

2007-06-19 Thread Sylwester Pietrzyk
As in subject - I'd buy a focusing screen for Pentax MX. It can be  
either SC-1 (split + microprism), SA-1 or SA-3 (microprism only) or  
SB-1 (split only). So if someone has one spare, please contact me, we  
will talk about payment and shipping :-) BTW - what is the difference  
between SA-1 and SA-3 focusing screens??? Or maybe it makes a sense  
to use LX screens, although I'm afraid of 1/3 EV underexposure on  
slide film?

Cheers,
Sylwek

 To ease the processing load, I would guess that the on-camera  
 histogram is a rough approximation taken by extrapolation from a few  
 sampled pixels strategically spotted around the sensor coverage.
 This is a familiar strategy to me - I sometimes ease processing load  
 by providing opinions that are a rough approximation based on  
 extrapolation from a few  data points.

 A Royal Navy carrier (Ark Royal, according to the sailors' hats) is in

 uninteresting picture, but given the very grey tonality I thought I'd
 play around with exposing to the right to see what difference it made
 in Lightroom when I applied a tone curve. I first made an exposure on
 auto with no compensation, and looked at the histogram. I then dialled
 in various amounts of over-exposure to move it to the right until the
 histogram fell off the edge.

 To my surprise, when I look at the pictures in Lightroom the histogram
 is significantly further to the right than it is on the camera's
 display. So the exposure that was right up against the edge in the
 camera, has fallen over it in Lightroom. Is this normal? Have other
 people seen the same thing with their cameras?

 Here is a photo that was over to the right, but not quite at the far
 end. About +1.5 stops, I think.

AFAIK, all pre-spottie Super Takumar 35/3.5 lenses were in the 7xx,xxx 
range, while there are also Super Takumar 35/3.5 lenses bearing 1,xxx,xxx, 
3,xxx,xxx and 4,xxx,xxx S/Numbers.

Then, S-M-C Takumar 35/3.5 lenses went forward (starting around 4,500,000)

I didn't fire up Nero, just looked in Exploder and it said put a disk in, 
stupid or something to that effect.  IOW, the disc was not visible to the file 
manager.  I'll try Nero tonight.  Will also perm all I can from the DVD 
recorder controls to see if I have missed something.  

The machine doing the recording is a Panasonic Digibox/DVD recorder.  This 
takes digital TV and radio signals and converts them to analogue which then 
goes through another black box to get the SCART output to RF, because my TV is 
from another millenium.  Allied to the DVDR, it's the easiest machine I've ever 
used to record TV.  Go into the week-ahead digital guide (one button press), 
find the programme you want to record, press the buttons as guided onscreen and 
walk away.

Yes, it is limiting ... you have to work the scanning application's  
controls carefully to acquire as much data as you can when the  
quantization space is small. 8-bit scanners also typically have  
smaller dynamic range.

That said, I worked with 8bit scanners for several years and managed

  H?  Could be. This computer is on its third power supply and still 
 has the original hard drive.

Not just the power supply, but also the mains power going into the
supply.  Since personal computers have become commodity items, the low
cost power supplies in them typically aren't designed with enough
chutzpah to deal with dirty input power, or to clean it up sufficiently
to satisfy the (sensitive) digital chickens it's keeping fed.  This is
one of the benefits of (some) UPS systems: they clean up the mains power
before the power supply in the computer has to deal with it.

Re: July PUG submission

Scott,

I just tried to submit a photo.  The problem with the
new form is that there isn't a Submit button--there
is just a Send Comment button, and links for PUG
Submission and No Comments.  So, I filled out the
form and clicked the link for PUG Submission.

Not intuitive.

Please let me know if it went through.

 You can still use

Frank,

The elbow sticking into the frame from the right is
distracting, and the trees aren't blurred enough to
catch my interest.  There is nothing else going on.

Shot from the front of the car, so that we could see
peoples' faces, this could be a really good shot.

The PUG is supposed to be as inclusive a gallery as possible. This means 
that themes should be doable with fairly basic equipment, and that the 
subject shouldn't be exclusive to certain parts of the world.
My understanding is that cormorants are a seaside dwelling creature,
